According to an article on Gamasutra, Take-Two may be changing its stance on game development for Nintendo systems. In the closing statements of their first conference call after taking the reins at the newly restructured Take-Two, chairman Strauss Zelnick and CEO Ben Feder had some illuminating comments about the company's stance on Nintendo.

When questioned about the company's burgeoning relationship with Nintendo, Zelnick commented that "working with Nintendo is a priority." The Take-Two chairman asserted that while it is important to tailor games to a specific console's audience, Take-Two is committed to creating "great games for Nintendo." The upcoming Wii game, Manhunt 2, is most likely the first step in this direction. Take-Two confirmed that this game is on schedule for its 2007 release.

While this isn't exactly confirmation that GTA IV is heading to the Wii, it is good news for Nintendo fans who have felt particularly jilted by Take-Two in the past.
